We formulate efficient polynomial expansion methods and obtain the exact traveling wave solutions for the generalized Camassa-Holm Equation. By the methods, we obtain three types traveling wave solutions for the generalized Camassa-Holm Equation: hyperbolic function traveling wave solutions, trigonometric function traveling wave solutions, and rational function traveling wave solutions. At the same time, we have shown graphical behavior of the traveling wave solutions.
The study of dispersive waves originated from the study of water waves. To find the exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equation arising in mathematical physics plays an important role in the study of nonlinear physical phenomena. There exists an important class of solutions of nonlinear evolution equations is called traveling wave solutions which attract the interest of many mathematicians and physicists. The traveling wave solutions reduce the two variables, namely, the space variable x and the time variable t, of a partial differential equation (PDE) to an ordinary differential equation (ODE) with one independent variable where is the wave speed with which the wave travels either to the right or to the left. There are many classical methods proposed to find exact traveling wave solutions of PDE. For example, the homogeneous balance method [1] , the tanh method [2] [3] , the Jacobi elliptic function expansion [4] - [14] , differential quadrature method [15] , the truncated Painleve expansion [16] , Lie classical method [17] , Hirota bilinear method [18] , Darboux transformation [19] , the trial Equation method [20] . Recently, more and more methods to find traveling wave solutions
are made. In [21] - [26] introduced a method called the -expansion method and obtained traveling solution for
the four well established nonlinear evolution equation; Seadawy et al. [27] proposed sech-tanh method to solve the Olver equation and the fifth-order KdV equation and obtained traveling wave solutions. Those methods are very efficient, reliable, simple in solving many PDEs.
In 1993, Camassa and Holm used Hamiltonian method to derive a new completely integrable shallow water wave equation
where u is the fluid velocity in the x direction (or equivalently the height of the water’s free surface above a flat bottom), is a constant related to the critical shallow water wave speed, and subscripts denote partial derivatives. This equation retains higher order terms (the right hand of) (1) in a small amplitude expansion of incompressible Euler’s equations for unidirectional motion of wave at the free surface under the influence of gravity. Now, Equation (1) is called Camassa-Holm (CH) equation. In [28] , the authors showed the smoothness of periodic traveling wave solution of the CH equation with the wave length, where the periodic traveling wave solution is a special solution we obtained. In recently years, CH Equation has been generalized to the following generalized Camassa-Holm (GCH) equation
where is a function of u. In 2001, Dulin et al. considered a generalized CH equation
which is called CH-g equation. Here and g are constants, and. The CH-g equation becomes the CH equation when and. In [11] [12] , the authors discussed the bifurcations of traveling wave solutions for the generalized Camassa-Holm Equation (2) and corresponding traveling wave system with, i.e.,
In [13] , the authors discussed the bifurcations of smooth and non-smooth traveling wave solutions for the generalized Camassa-Holm Equation (2). In [14] , the author obtained the numerical solution of fuzzy Camassa- Holm equation by using homtopy analysis methods. We look for the traveling wave solutions of (4) in the form of, where c is the wave speed and. In this paper, we pay attention to solve the (4) and get the traveling wave solutions for the Equation (4).
This paper is organized as follows. In Section 1, an introduction is presented. In Section 2, a description of the polynomial expansion method is formulated. In Section 3, the traveling wave solutions of the GCH are obtained. Finally, the paper ends with a conclusion in the Section 4.
